Initial problem
After every construction site inspection, hours of office work follow: transferring photos from camera to computer, creating Word documents, inserting and labeling images, formatting protocols, saving as PDF, and emailing to all stakeholders. This rework after every single inspection costs enormous time and delays communication across project teams.
Implementation
A cross platform mobile app built with React Native and Expo that digitizes the entire inspection workflow on site. Workers capture photos directly in the app, document conditions and defects, assign responsibilities, set deadlines, and the protocol is automatically generated and sent to all parties before they even leave the site. The backend runs on ASP.NET with C#, the web management interface uses Angular. My focus was on building the mobile app, ensuring it works fully offline with automatic data synchronization when connectivity returns.
